well i can say that life after the VX is a very boring and mundane. you definately dont get looks from anyone on the road, because usually the other person is driving the same car.
however, it DOES-
have more room!
come with a locker 
have infinite amounts of aftermarket parts available.
my choice if i could afford it though?? S-T-I!!!!! retain the AWD, sportyness, and the go everywhere attitude
